Request for Proposals

Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance Update

The Derry Township Board of Supervisors is requesting proposals for services from a qualified planning consultant to complete a multiphase municipal planning project. Consultants may bid on one or all phases of the project.

Phase 1 consists of updating the 1991 Comprehensive Plan including the Future Land Use, Community Services and Facilities, Environmental, and Hazard Mitigation components. Consultants may visit the Township Comprehensive Plan website at http://derryvision.org to view the work that has already been completed by the Township.

Phase 2 consists of completing the transportation component of the Comprehensive Plan. The Township anticipates that this phase will be done concurrently with Phase 1 by a consultant that holds credentials or certifications in traffic planning and design.

Phase 3 of the project is to revise the Township Zoning Ordinance in order to implement the goals and objectives recommended in the Comprehensive Plan.
